Sagamu Killings: SSS arrests Ogun lawmaker as PDP kicks

Tamarauemi Ebimini

The State Security Services (SSS) has arrested a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Damilare Bello of Sagamu Constituency 1, in connection to bloody clashes that claimed many lives early in the week in the lawmaker’s constituency.

Mr Bello is a member of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The party confirmed the arrest of Mr Bello, while condemning it as political intimidation of the opposition.

In a statement by its state spokesperson, Akinloye Bankole, the party said Mr Bello was arrested late on Wednesday by the SSS.

The PDP, however, condemned the arrest, accusing the governor of intimidating the opposition with the secret police.

The PDP charged the state government to look in Sagamu Local Government Area for the real troublemakers.

The spokesperson of the SSS, Peter Afunanya, neither picked his call nor responded to text and Whatsapp messages sent to him on the matter.
